Am I using the wrong program?

Software Carbide Create

I have been using my Nomad 3 for nearly two years now and really enjoy it making many projects with 2D demands. Now I am attempting a 3D project. I gat a print of my granddaughter in her ballerina pose. Ran it through Easy Create 3D and saved it as a .TIFF [also as a .v3m]. Now I’m stuck. Attempting to convert the TIFF or v3m into a format that will work on my Nomad 3.

QUESTION: Anyone else having this problem? Any help or guidance, or is it just me??

Carbide Create Pro will require that a TIFF be converted to a supported format (JPEG or PNG, maybe others).

.v3m is a Vectric Clip art file format, so you would need to use a Vectric product for that file.

I started using EasyCreate a week go - .very cool.
My quick easy workflow for bas-reliefs, (I have CC v8 Pro)

  • Save a TIFF from EasyCreate,
  • go to the free website imagetostl com to upload and convert to STL
  • load the STL into CCv8 pro

The straightforward and reliable 3D CAM in CC pro is where I’ve found my hobbyist niche

Can anyone share one of the tiff files? I think we can enable that in Create, but we’d prefer to have a test file first.
